Oak Bay Dominates Reynolds in AAA High School Basketball Action

December 12, 2012, Victoria, BC (ISN) – A day after squeaking out a 68-67 OT win over the Belmont Bulldogs, the Oak Bay Bays Sr. Boys AAA Basketball team would have a much easier time of things Wednesday evening, blowing out the Reynolds Roadrunners 76-31 on their home court.

The Bays would start slowly in the game, holding just a 15-7 lead after the first quarter, but they would turn things on in the second, outscoring the overmatched and inexperienced Roadrunners 24-12 in the quarter to hold a 39-19 lead at half.

Leading the charge for Oak Bay in that second quarter were Matt Gray and Liam Horne who were virtually unstoppable and who would have 11 and 8 points respectively in the quarter.

In the third quarter, things went from bad to worse for the Roadrunners, as their shooting went cold and they would score a meager 3 points, while the Bays continued to roll, pouring in 17 more to lead 56-22 after three.

In the fourth quarter, the Bays were able to rest their starters and give their subs some decent playing time, but the young Roadrunners could not capitalize and the #1 ranked AAA team on the Island would continue to dominate, winning the quarter 20-9 and the game 76-31.

Leading the way for the Bays were Gray and Horne with 21 and 14 points respectively, most of which came in the first half. Also of note for Oak Bay were Timo Wiemer with 12 and Dan Phillips who nailed two three pointers off the bench in the fourth to finish with 6 points. In all, 10 of the 12 players on the Oak Bay roster contributed points to the winning cause.

On the Reynolds side, Amir Harati and Bryce Gaspar were the lone bright spots, contributing 10 points each to the losing effort.
